Abstract

Nigeria has existed for one hundred years since its amalgamation in 1914. However, a cursory look at the contemporary history of Nigeria suggests the bitter truth that its continuous existence is now threatened. This paper argues that besides the devastating Civil War that threatened the unity of Nigeria, the most significant threat to Nigerian unity in the contemporary time is the anthology of bomb-blasts that has plagued the nation in recent times. This paper decries it and presents cogent reasons for these happenings. The paper counsels against its continue manifestation.
